#9 - The icon is too dark and could have used some contrast.
#5 - The Icon is a bit too bright, making part of her hand blend in too much with the background. It also could have used a bit more contrast.

Favorite Icon
6 - Nice crop and work with negative space.

#02 - The use of text is awkward and unnecessary, and the colours could have been slightly more contrasted with heavier texturing to emphasise the crop.
#09 - Awkward use of black fill on the right side of the icon and makes the icon appear more cluttered than it is with a lack of empty space to contrast the toys. A different crop would have had a better effect with the black!

Favorite Icon
#11 - Dramatic and clean crop, particularly in comparison to the rest of the icons with similar/identical images and crops used!

Regarding the reason for your first Least Favourite Icon, we're going to need you to reword it. Firstly, the 'text' is actually the sign of the building and is part of the screencap and hasn't been added by the icon maker. Lastly, the second part of your reason is referring to what could make it better, not what is wrong with it now, this will also need to be changed.

Sorry about that, 1) I didn't know it was part of the image itself (which explains the awkward positioning), and 2) I'm not used to the voting style here yet and force of habit in adding on what could be changed like what I did for 09 mm do you need me to edit that too?
Here's the reworded version, do let me know if more amendments need to be made!

#02 - The cropping of the icon is at an odd position and makes it is a little difficult to find the focus of the icon at first glance. The whites and light areas of the icon are of similar tones which lacks emphasis on the subject, or focal of the icon. The use of empty areas in the image are well-balanced, but uninteresting and plain.

Thanks for replying so quickly. And everything is great now, thanks. No need to change the reason for the other Least Favourite Icon, you gave enough of a reason for what was wrong with the icon now. I also like to give advice on how to improve the icon, just have to remember to also talk about what's wrong with it now.

#1 - image appears sharp and the text too dominant, maybe a more script like lighter font.
# 3- black + white contrasting tones are lacking, making the icon appear quite dark

Favorite Icon
#7 - great central crop
